Chapter 189: Qu Ba
October 31, 2052...
On the last day of October, Wen Yu finished all dungeons from level 60 to 100. Due to the skyrocketing experience required for leveling up, Wen Yu's level did not increase.
Having agreed with Li Jue and Li Li to study the Demon Race Language from 4 PM to 6 PM every day, Wen Yu was not in a hurry to enter the Demon Race world too early.
Adjusting the enforcer mask to "See Andrology at Kowloon", Wen Yu arrived at the Novice Village.
Glancing at his intelligence stat, Wen Yu sighed: "With over 3,000 rabbits per hour, the improvement is already starting to look very slow in the face of my hundreds of thousands of intelligence points."
"Keep working hard, and strive to get the base intelligence to over 1 million before the Demon Race descends."
...
After two days of study, Wen Yu had mastered a small portion of the pronunciation of the Demon Race Language.
As for listening, he could understand quite a lot now.
This gave Wen Yu a lot more confidence about exploring the Demon Race city at night.
At 6 PM, after finishing today's studies, Wen Yu had a meal with Li Jue and Li Li at the Shen City military district.
Afterward, Li Li returned to Shangjing City via the teleportation array, and Wen Yu returned to his home immediately.
It is worth mentioning that since he would be studying the Demon Race Language every afternoon, Wen Yu gave Aunt Huang a long vacation.
He didn't say he was no longer hiring her, just that he had things to do recently and she didn't need to prepare dinner for him.
Back home, Wen Yu couldn't wait to put on his helmet.
"Paper talk is ultimately no match for actual practice."
"Let me see what it will be like to truly face the Demon Race!"
— — — — — —
Meeting Leonardo again, Wen Yu wasn't in a hurry to enter the rift immediately and just started chatting with Leonardo.
Not to mention, Leonardo was truly the NPC Wen Yu had met who knew the most things.
Through Leonardo's retelling, Wen Yu clearly knew which day last year the Demon Race first descended on Earth Star.
Level 120 was indeed the limit for the "After Tomorrow" level, but what truly shocked Wen Yu was that at level 120, one could perform a fourth class advancement!
And the location for the class transfer was the Super Main City that Chen Ping had speculated about!
"..."
"Lan Yulong is clearly already level 120, so why is his displayed class still Sword Master?" Wen Yu couldn't figure it out.
And Leonardo's words shocked Wen Yu once again.
"Because, the fourth class advancement is only open to you adventurers."
Looking at Wen Yu faintly, Leonardo continued: "Opening the fourth class advancement... will greatly consume the source power of the will of the planet..."
"!!!"
"You know about the will of the planet?!"
Leonardo did not speak again; the answer to this question perhaps could not be spoken.
Leonardo didn't pay attention to Wen Yu anymore. Having gotten enough information for the day, Wen Yu didn't prepare to continue pestering him.
"Leonardo actually knows about the will of the planet, so does he know that he is not a real person?..."
"Whether it's Lan Yulong, Chen Ping, or Cao Yifan."
"Everyone is a product created by the will of the planet."
"Depending on the share of the will of the planet, their strength is also obviously different."
"You, Leonardo, what kind of situation are you?..."
"Just by the share of the will of the planet, is it really enough to know so many truths?..."
Things had become even more confusing. The Moon City Lord, Hua Rou, could have her consciousness directly taken over by the will of the planet.
But Wen Yu estimated that Leonardo was different from them.
"That's right, after all, only Leonardo is guarding a Demon Race rift alone."
"Continue leveling up. Perhaps when I reach the legendary Super Main City, I will be able to know the answer."
Before entering the Demon Race world, Wen Yu opened the regional level leaderboard to check.
After the "Simulated War", the system rewarded three full days of double experience effects.
There wasn't much change in the rankings, but everyone's levels had developed rapidly in these few days.
The Emperor, who was ranked second on the level leaderboard, had reached level 103, which was only 7 levels behind Wen Yu.
Taking out his phone, he sent messages to all his close friends, informing them of the true situation of the level 110 dungeon.
At the same time, he warned them that if they were willing, they could start learning the Demon Race Language now.
Without paying attention to how they replied to him, he checked his own equipment and adjusted the enforcer mask to "Demon Ice Lightning Mage — Qu Ba".
Qu Ba, this name was told to Wen Yu by Li Li; it was the Demon Race name prepared for Wen Yu by the will of the planet.
When the country received the books Wen Yu brought back, the first research topic was Wen Yu's name.
And finally, heaven rewards the diligent. This morning, after flipping through the books, they finally translated this name.
Turning on the screen recording, Wen Yu decisively chose to enter the rift...
— — — — — —
Immediately perking up and surveying his surroundings, the location where Wen Yu descended this time was exactly the village that Wen Yu had destroyed last, yesterday.
There were quite a few Demon Race members around, appearing to be looking for the real reason why the village was destroyed.
Wen Yu's sudden appearance clearly gave them a big fright.
Everyone was ready for battle, but seeing Wen Yu's appearance, all the Demon Race members relaxed their vigilance immediately.
"..."
"It's a good thing I turned into the appearance of the Demon Race before I descended..."
Looking around, everyone's level was above Second Class Transfer. It looked like they were sent by the Demon Race city to check on the situation of the village.
At the same time, Wen Yu analyzed the rift teleportation immediately.
"When a player descends for the first time, it should be in the forest where I descended yesterday, and for every subsequent descent, it all depends on where you 'log off'."
"Reasonable. If you descended in the forest every time, This Person Wen alone could run himself to death, let alone ordinary players."
"Then there would be no point in exploring."
...
"**, who are you...?"
A voice came from the side, and Wen Yu turned his head to look immediately.
After two days of study, Wen Yu could naturally understand simple Demon Race Language like "Who are you".
And Li Jue and Li Li had also compiled a self-introduction for Wen Yu.
"My name is Qu Ba. I am a resident of this village. A long time ago, in order to improve my strength, I was forced to leave my hometown and have been working hard to improve myself outside."
"Yesterday, I suddenly heard the bad news and rushed back as fast as I could, but I didn't expect..."
What he didn't expect, Wen Yu really didn't know.
Li Jue and Li Li didn't say.
Wen Yu didn't know how to say the words "bad news" either, but it was just bad news anyway.
While speaking, Wen Yu's face gradually became sad.
Looking around, he continued: "Where are the bodies of my relatives? Have they all been collected by you?"
Noticing that Wen Yu was speaking a bit strangely, it didn't raise too much suspicion, after all, he was speaking the most authentic Demon Race Language.
"Yes, the ** of your relatives have already been ** by us, please accept our condolences."
...
The surrounding Demon Race members had already defined Wen Yu.
"An illiterate person who travels the world..."
***
Chapter 190: Diary of a Mad Demon
The demons were very respectful toward Wen Yu, perhaps because Wen Yu himself was already a third class transfer Ice Lightning Mage, while the surrounding demons were generally at the Second Class Transfer stage.
Through chatting, Wen Yu also roughly understood the background of this group of people.
They were indeed the guard squad from the main city that Wen Yu had explored yesterday.
They had been ordered to come and investigate the cause of the destruction of the surrounding villages.
However, when Wen Yu asked for the reason, no one around could give a clear explanation.
"Apart from finding 38 corpses, another 49 corpses had inexplicably gone missing."
"The causes of death were also all different."
Wen Yu nodded; different was exactly how it should be.
After all, when he slaughtered the village, he didn't just use Ice Shard and Chain Lightning.
As for the missing ones, that was even easier to understand.
The Space Wormhole was full.
After waiting another half an hour, the group really couldn't investigate the cause of the destruction.
They had to give up and began their return journey.
During this time, Wen Yu also waited on the sidelines, watching the demons and the others "work."
"I have to say, although they don't have any professional equipment, they are checking quite carefully."
Wen Yu hadn't left because they said they were willing to take Wen Yu to the city, and if Wen Yu was willing to stay, they could also arrange work for him.
"Sure enough, people with strength get preferential treatment wherever they go."
...
Walking all the way to the city, Wen Yu didn't use teleportation to travel; he just listened to everyone chatting, and the screen recording was always on.
As for what they were saying, Wen Yu could only understand a part of it.
Summarizing the part he could understand, there were roughly only two things.
One thing was about "birthdays."
The demons seemed extremely dissatisfied with celebrating their own birthdays, as if celebrating a birthday would bring some great disaster.
But Wen Yu didn't understand the specific reason.
Another thing was Ganku City.
Ganku City was the destination of Wen Yu and the others' trip. From the conversation, Wen Yu learned that although this city was relatively prosperous in the surrounding area, it was only in the peripheral zone of the Demon Race world.
The positioning of Ganku City, if converted to After Tomorrow, probably wouldn't even rank as a Tier 3 Main City. If there were a Tier 4 Main City, Ganku City would be positioned there.
Ganku City was directly managed by the Tier 3 Main City Dili City.
And Dili City was just one of the many main cities managed by Kabin City.
Above Kabin City was the First-Tier Main City Multi-Armed City, directly managed by the Many-Armed Heavenly Demon King, one of the three great demon kings.
As for what the main city above that was called, the group didn't discuss it, but Wen Yu knew that the Super Main City of the Demon Race world must be directly overseen by the Great Demon God.
...
The demons also asked Wen Yu which main cities he had visited when he was far from home.
Listening to what they meant, there were many main cities, and it was impossible for them to know them all.
Wen Yu casually made up a few, and it didn't arouse any suspicion.
Another half an hour passed, and Wen Yu and the others finally arrived at the gate of Ganku City. Half of the time since Wen Yu's arrival this time had already passed.
But Wen Yu felt that he had gained a lot; at the very least, he understood the structure of the surrounding area, and now, he could really successfully sneak into the main city.
"If you want to understand the Demon Race, you naturally have to delve into them."
"The best way is never destruction, but joining."
Even the matter of arranging work was within Wen Yu's consideration.
Yesterday, Wen Yu also recorded the entire process, and the route from the spawn point to Ganku City was also completely and clearly recorded on the forum.
This was the closest main city that players could reach after logging in.
Wen Yu planned to use this place as a base, and when more players arrived, he would directly take this main city for himself.
In the Demon Race world, establish the first city-state belonging to the human race.
Then, from near to far, slowly radiate outward.
"Hehehe, who is invading whom, that's not yet clear."
...
At the city gate, Wen Yu and the others also met "colleagues" returning from other villages.
No village could clearly state the cause of everyone's death.
"That's right! If This Person Wen did things in a way that you could understand, then how could the game be played?"
Using a disk, Wen Yu successfully entered the city.
After parting ways with the demons, Wen Yu carefully examined the city before him.
The city was still entirely composed of single-story buildings.
Including the City Lord's Mansion, it was just a slightly larger single-story house.
"Overall, it doesn't look much different from a Tier 3 Main City in After Tomorrow."
"Could the buildings in After Tomorrow also be built according to the Demon Race style?..."
Continuing to walk forward, besides housing, various shops also appeared before Wen Yu's eyes.
He strolled through them one by one. Demon disks were being consumed like flowing water, and the items in his space ring were piling up bit by bit.
For many things, Wen Yu didn't even know what they were for, but as long as he saw them and asked the price, regardless of whether they were expensive or not, Wen Yu would buy them all.
"I don't feel bad, not a bit."
In Wen Yu's eyes, demon disks could never truly be regarded as "money."
Once that concept was gone, when he spent, he naturally wouldn't be frugal at all.
There was another reason....
"Sooner or later they will return to my backpack. Now is not the time to destroy the city; let's wait a little longer..."
— — — — — —
In the three hours of exploration, for the second half, Wen Yu didn't do anything; he was just constantly buying, buying, buying...
Wen Yu, who was spending money like water, naturally attracted the attention of quite a few demons. There were even several gangs that cornered Wen Yu, wanting to stage a robbery.
Naturally, Wen Yu didn't hold back at all and sent them all directly to hell.
On the way to the main city, listening to everyone chat, Wen Yu already knew that killing in the city was a very common occurrence. Among the demons, those with strong strength were heaven!
And in the hour or so after entering the main city, Wen Yu also witnessed quite a few murder incidents. After killing, eating on the spot was not seen as anything surprising in the eyes of others.
"A world where demons eat demons..."
"Diary of a Mad Demon."
Leaving the Demon Race world, Wen Yu logged off immediately and sent the videos to Li Li and Li Jue respectively.
From now on, Wen Yu would send Demon Race Language and video-related videos directly to Li Li.
Bypassing Lin Sirong and letting their language research institute complete it on their own.
Li Jue also posted today's video on the forum.
Logging back on, Wen Yu handed over all the things he had gained today, along with that demon ring, to Lin Sirong.
With so many things, they would have plenty to research.
"I hope they can extract some things from it that are also useful to us humans."
Three hours of exploration, and the time had reached 10:30 PM. It was still early, so Wen Yu wasn't in a hurry to log off; he returned to the Novice Village to continue grinding his rabbits.
He had only been grinding for more than half an hour when his phone rang.
Wen Yu decisively chose to log off.
Picking up his phone to check, the call was from Li Jue.
"Li Jue? What's up?"
"Brother Yu! I know the reproduction method of the demons."
Hearing Li Jue's words, Wen Yu perked up.
This news was also something Wen Yu wanted to know. During today's trip to the Demon Race, all the demons Wen Yu saw still had the same appearance.
Except for the difference in physical strength, there was no difference at all.
Even after entering the main city, there were still no old people, women, or children present.
"Tell me about it."
***
Chapter 191: [Jewel Maze]
Li Jue's voice kept coming through the phone, and shock gradually appeared on Wen Yu's face.
The news Wen Yu brought back from his trip to the Demon Race today was quite substantial.
And the most important piece of information was actually something Wen Yu had completely forgotten about: the Demon Race's birthday!
"Brother Yu, every member of the Demon Race has their own birthday. On that day, their bodies will undergo a split, dividing into two!"
"After splitting, each independent individual retains two-thirds of the strength they had before the split."
"In other words, every year on their birthday, the Demon Race undergoes this split. That is how they constantly improve their strength: improve, then split, then improve, and split again."
"Since the Demon Race population is truly vast, the higher-ups encourage them to kill each other."
"And splitting is an extremely painful process; no Demon Race member is willing to endure such agony."
"Therefore, for them, their birthday is undoubtedly the most painful day of the year."
"..."
"So that's how it is."
"With such a reproduction speed..."
"Just how many people are there in the Demon Race?"
"If that's the case, why make such a big fuss over the destruction of a few surrounding villages?"
"What is the point of sending so many people to investigate?"
Li Jue was destined not to have the answer to this question.
After hanging up the phone, Wen Yu didn't plan to log back into the game.
After taking a shower and lying in bed, Wen Yu opened the forums.
The two posts Li Jue had published about Wen Yu's trip to the Demon Race were already pinned to the top of the forum.
Wen Yu clicked on them to take a look; the emotions expressed in the comment section were mostly fear.
Only a few people expressed hope to reach level 110 as soon as possible and enter this legendary world to explore.
Li Jue's level was already approaching 100. When Li Jue reached level 110, Wen Yu might even give the enforcer mask to Li Jue.
With his eloquence and mastery of the Demon Race Language, he believed Li Jue could quickly obtain a large amount of useful intelligence for the country.
Browsing further down, there were messages about various countries launching a National War. There were wins and losses, but none had news of one-sided crushing and city-breaking like China Sharp Blade.
Looking at the forum, Wen Yu gradually drifted into dreamland.
— — — — — —
At 7:30 in the morning, Wen Yu was suddenly startled awake from his sleep.
He sat up abruptly, his skill radiance already flowing in his hands. Looking around and discovering he was still in his bedroom, Wen Yu finally relaxed.
"My goodness, this weak This Person Wen was almost surrounded by big Demon Race men again."
"Good thing I woke up fast..."
Rolling out of bed, it was still early, so Wen Yu wasn't in a rush to get on the game. He teleported out, found a small shop, and had breakfast.
"Suddenly, I really want to eat spicy soup, but it's a pity there isn't any in the south."
"I should find some time to go to Beijing for a trip."
"Do some spending~"
"If all else fails, I'll just buy another house!"
Wen Yu hadn't sold videos to make money for a long time, but right now, Wen Yu had a massive fortune of over one hundred million yuan.
Buying a villa in Beijing wouldn't be a problem at all.
Returning home, Wen Yu didn't delay any further. He put on his helmet and threw himself back into the intense grind of leveling up.
Today was November 1st, 2052, the first day of November. After clearing all the dungeons under level 100, Wen Yu's level fittingly reached 111.
He was just a little bit short of reaching 112.
"One step closer to the max level."
Li Jue hadn't been online for the past two days, perhaps preparing study materials for Wen Yu, or perhaps thinking about how to tutor him.
His level had been stuck at 97 for two days now.
Returning to the Novice Village, Wen Yu continued farming rabbits.
His intelligence was still increasing at a rate of 3400-3800 points per hour.
At 3 PM, Wen Yu received a message from Lin Sirong.
A hidden dungeon, and a rigid requirement that it needed ten people to participate—one more was no good, and one less was even worse.
Lin Sirong and the others had already entered the dungeon once; even if one person died, the dungeon would instantly be declared a failure.
"Sounds pretty difficult, I'll go check it out."
It was still early, and Wen Yu didn't believe there was any dungeon he couldn't clear in an hour.
...
Following the location Lin Sirong provided, Wen Yu used teleportation to travel. 20 minutes later, Wen Yu was already standing in front of Lin Sirong and the others.
Looking around, the few strongest ones had all arrived.
"Brother Rong, what kind of dungeon did you find that's this difficult?" Wen Yu glanced at Lin Sirong and continued: "We need to get the top 10 on the leaderboard to clear it together, right?"
"It's not simple, that's for sure. You'll know once you go in."
Lin Sirong formed a party and pulled everyone in.
Wen Yu immediately encountered the familiar dungeon notification sound.
"Ding! ~"
"Hidden dungeon discovered — [Jewel Maze]!"
After confirming entry, everyone turned into streams of light and vanished from the wilderness.
...
Opening his eyes again, Wen Yu and the others were standing inside a massive underground cavern.
"Ding! ~"
"You have entered the dungeon [Jewel Maze]. Please clear the dungeon within 30 minutes!"
"Countdown 30 minutes! Start!"
Another countdown dungeon. With only 30 minutes, it seemed the difficulty was indeed quite high.
Everyone looked toward Lin Sirong, who shook his head and said: "The first stage is an immortal-rank boss. We don't know how many stages there are in total yet."
"..."
Without making them wait too long, light flickered in the open space in the middle, and a giant red crystal beast appeared before everyone's eyes.
Wen Yu immediately activated Insight Technique.
[Red Crystal Beast] (immortal-rank boss)
Level: 90
...
Looking at the stats, it wasn't very powerful; it should be the weakest among the immortal-rank bosses.
Judging by the skills, there were no damage-lock skills. Apart from the boss skills, there was only the generic Invincible skill of an immortal-rank boss.
"Mediocre. This is a boss that can be taken down easily."
A Void Orb blasted directly onto the boss.
- 3000000 (Critical Hit)!
The boss instantly died, and there wasn't much surprise in anyone's eyes.
After all, they were entities that could go back and forth with the Great Demon God. If they couldn't even pass this dungeon, then there would be no point in playing.
The boss's massive crystal body instantly shattered, leaving a ball of red light in place.
Lin Sirong walked up, picked up the red light, and posted it in the party chat for everyone to see.
[Red Crystal] (Quest Item)
Description: The core left behind after the Red Crystal Beast died. Cannot be brought out of the dungeon.
Putting the crystal into his inventory, Lin Sirong said: "Since it requires 10 people to participate in the dungeon, I'm afraid..."
"The number of bosses that need to be killed is also 10..."
Wen Yu didn't know the specific situation of the dungeon, but it didn't matter.
As long as the other companions didn't die, he could kill these bosses without damage-lock in one hit.
...
As the bosses were continuously killed, their levels gradually increased, and more and more crystals were dropped.
[Red Crystal] [Yellow Crystal] [Blue Crystal] [Green Crystal], and so on.
And when they reached the 10th boss.
Compared to the initial [Red Crystal Beast], the stats were already worlds apart.
[Purple Crystal Beast] (immortal-rank boss)
Level: 100
...
With a full 8 million HP, even Wen Yu was taken aback.
"..."
"Are you kidding me? Even the Great Demon God isn't as exaggerated as you, brother."
***
Chapter 192: Taking office in Goose City?!
Of course, the BOSS just had astonishing HP; among its skills, there were still no HP-locking skills.
Without any healing skills, standing in front of Wen Yu, it was nothing more than a moving target.
Space Wormhole was unleashed, instantly swallowing the entire BOSS.
The rift swallowed the BOSS in an instant.
What was interesting was that the [Amethyst Beast] had been swallowed by the BOSS, and after waiting for a full 10 seconds, the amethyst was finally "spat" out by the rift.
Wen Yu smiled.
"An interesting setting."
Lin Sirong picked up the crystal, and no more BOSSes appeared in the vicinity.
As lights flickered, "altars" of various colors appeared around them.
"It seems we each need to take a crystal and stand on the teleportation array of the corresponding color."
Lin Sirong quickly distributed the crystals to everyone, and Wen Yu, holding the [Yellow Crystal], also arrived at the corresponding yellow teleportation array.
After everyone stood in position.
The system prompt sounded!
"Ding! ~"
"Successfully cleared the dungeon [Jewel Maze]!"
"System reward: EXP + 1,000,000"
...
There were quite a few rewards that followed, and Wen Yu took a rough glance; apart from 20 [equipment potential attachment card]s, there wasn't anything particularly useful.
"Hidden dungeons no longer provide much improvement for me; they are tasteless."
Obtaining another 1 million EXP did, however, allow Wen Yu to successfully level up to 112.
Perhaps this was the biggest gain from this trip...
——————
Time quickly reached four in the afternoon, and it was time for Wen Yu's tutoring session again.
In the Shen City military district classroom, the people present were still Wen Yu, Li Li, and Li Jue.
Li Li first reported on the books and items Wen Yu had brought back yesterday.
Research progress was very slow, as the researchers wanted to "thoroughly understand" the items bit by bit.
Currently, it was only known that among the items Wen Yu brought back from [After Tomorrow], there were quite a few potions. Among the books, there were also books related to pharmacy.
The specific effects would only be known after further testing by the national personnel.
Addressing the situations Wen Yu might encounter today, Li Li and Li Jue were also trying their best to teach him.
Wen Yu listened very attentively; if he were to really work in [Ganku City] today, not being able to speak would make it very easy to be exposed.
...
Time quickly reached 6 PM, and after having dinner at the Shen City military district, everyone went their separate ways.
Wen Yu was not in a rush to leave. Today happened to be the day for building a teleportation array. After establishing a teleportation array in the capital of E Province, Wen Yu returned home.
——————
When Wen Yu stood in front of [Leonardo] again, it was already past 8 PM.
Today, Leonardo was clearly not as enthusiastic toward Wen Yu as he had been the previous two days.
No matter what Wen Yu said, Leonardo ignored him.
Wen Yu was also quite helpless. He put on his Demon equipment and also wore the Demon ring that Lin Sirong had returned to him during the hidden dungeon, then Wen Yu walked into the rift.
Seeing Wen Yu disappear, a smile appeared on Leonardo's face.
"Young man, you came to deceive, to ambush, to trick an old comrade like me who doesn't know how old he is."
...
Descending into the Demon world again, Wen Yu appeared in an alley in [Ganku City].
He first looked around; apart from a Demon Heavy Archer gnawing on the corpse of its own kind, there was nothing else around.
The spot where Wen Yu descended happened to be right next to the Demon, which truly gave the Demon a fright.
"..."
A [Void Orb] killed it directly, and Wen Yu shook his head.
"No matter which race it is, eating one's own kind is too vile."
He lifted his feet and walked outside; the Demon world was very similar to [Sun City] and [Moon City].
There was no distinction between so-called day and night; the scene of the sun and moon in the sky together remained the same no matter how long since he had descended.
He continued to shop around in [Ganku City], only stopping when Wen Yu walked to an equipment store.
"Since I have already transferred to an [Ice Lightning Mage], I still need to get a set of [Ice Lightning Mage] equipment."
"Wearing this low-level Demon equipment for a long time will easily lead to exposure eventually."
He acted on his thoughts; although Demon equipment could not be detailed even with [Insight Technique], Li Li had already informed Wen Yu through previous Demon invasion videos what [Ice Lightning Mage] equipment looked like.
Continuing to wander the streets of [Ganku City], after another half an hour, Wen Yu was called out by someone.
"My Lord, greetings."
Hearing the voice, Wen Yu turned back to look.
An ordinary Demon warrior stood behind Wen Yu.
"Hello, who are you?"
"I am a guard of [Ganku City]. The City Lord heard that a [third class transfer] big shot had entered the city, so he specifically sent me to **, hoping that you can go to the City Lord's mansion **."
Many of the words, Wen Yu still couldn't hear clearly, but it didn't prevent him from understanding the meaning.
"Is this an attempt to recruit me?"
"Can this small border city not even find a single [third class transfer]?"
Wen Yu naturally had no objections and followed the guard toward the City Lord's mansion.
The City Lord's mansion was just a relatively better-looking bungalow, far worse than Chen Ping's residence.
Wen Yu couldn't read the City Lord's name, but it didn't matter; he would be able to read it tomorrow.
In terms of appearance, there was no difference from an ordinary Demon, but the City Lord's level had reached over 70, so he should be the only one in the whole city to have completed a [third class transfer].
"..."
"If I kill him, can I become the City Lord of [Ganku City]..."
"Taking office in Goose City?!"
Continuing to browse everything in the City Lord's mansion, a huge map caught Wen Yu's eyes.
Looking closely, it was a regional map centered on [Ganku City]. On the map, all surrounding towns were marked, and the layout of the villages was all clearly presented on the paper.
"This is great; I won't have to worry about not knowing which way to go in the future."
Just as Wen Yu was thinking this, the Demon City Lord opposite him spoke.
"I heard about you yesterday, Qu Ba, originally living in a village outside the city, traveling everywhere to improve your strength."
"Now that you have returned to [Ganku City], what plans do you have?"
Composing himself, Wen Yu immediately replied: "Traveling outside, I have seen too much of the world's coldness. Now that I have returned, please, my Lord, assign me a task!"
The Demon City Lord nodded.
"I have the same intention. Currently, in [Ganku City], only you and I have completed a [third class transfer]. If you are willing to reside in [Ganku City], in the future you can be my ****."
Wen Yu didn't understand, but he guessed it should be a term like right-hand man.
The two continued to chat, and Wen Yu finally understood the main city structure of the Demon world.
Apart from the three [First-Tier Main City]s guarded by the three great Demon Kings, there were 18 subordinate [Second-Tier Main City]s, and 108 [Tier 3 Main City]s like [Ganku City]'s superior city, [Dili City].
As for micro main cities like [Ganku City], there were countless. The 18 Demon Generals of the [Second-Tier Main City]s were appointed directly by the three great Demon Kings, while for those below [Tier 3 Main City]s, it was entirely based on one's own strength; as long as one didn't rebel, whoever was stronger was the City Lord.
"This moronic setting of the Demon race is simply tailor-made to provide me with convenience. Take over [Ganku City], then slowly take down a [Tier 3 Main City]."
"Until reaching a [Second-Tier Main City], this method can be used. The only ones that truly require a forceful assault are [Second-Tier Main City]s and [First-Tier Main City]s."
The two continued to chat, and Wen Yu's understanding of the Demon world continued to deepen.
In the end, the position the City Lord arranged for Wen Yu was to lead the Demons out to hunt and obtain food resources.
"..."
"Is this all a right-hand man does? Then don't blame me when I take you out!"
